Multivariate linear regression analysis to evaluate the association between the levels of intestinal fast acid bound protein (I-FABP) and independent variables (cytokines) in Giardia-positive preschoolers.
| Independent Variables | Dependent Variable I-FABP Levels (pg/mL) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Coef 1 | SE 2 | P | |
| Giardia infection (positive or negative) | 0.396 | 321.88 | 0.071 |
| IL-17 * | 0.227 | 18.86 | 0.349 |
| TNF * | 0.437 | 9.80 | 0.135 |
| IL-8 * | −0.045 | 0.55 | 0.833 |
| IL-10 * | −0.341 | 14.29 | 0.215 |
1 Coef—Correlation coeficient; 2 SE—standard error; * MFI—median fluorescence intensity; IL—interleukin, TNF—tumor necrosis factor, I-FABP—intestinal fast acid bound protein.
